Cucumber Salad with Chiles and Yogurt

by:




Many of us have encountered this salad, made with yogurt and mint, in Indian restaurants, where it is called raita. If you make it with creme fraiche instead of yogurt, it can stand alone as a first course. If you make it with yogurt, it is best with other crudités.
